Reviews

“(TV) love story about the fears and contradictions of people who find it difficult to reconcile their emotional lives with the demands of everyday life. The fact that the constructed plot, which takes place in a visually attractive ambience, does not slide into pretentiousness, is due to the excellent leading actors. "

“What makes the film worth seeing are its actors, led by director Johannes Fabrick with a casual routine. The film is extremely well cast down to the smallest supporting roles. With actors who appreciate and master the keyboard of the nuances. "

- the daily newspaper

“Fortunately, the female portrait, which begins as a light, shallow TV problem romance with a hint of humor, is becoming increasingly dramatic. In the end it will almost grow up. "

"

- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
